What is the musical, not modernized operetta?

The Musical as a genre originated in the late nineteenth century in the United States. Today it is very popular all over the world, including in our country. In essence it is a musical Comedy, but in a separate art form. For whatever reason – a special subject.

The musical, and operetta is a combination of music, dialogues, dance and other artistic techniques, United by a single storyline. So what's the difference?

Some musicologists who believe that they know what a musical, saying: "it's All about the vocals". Rather, in his school. Say, in the Opera as the operetta the other, and in the musical third. However, in all three cases, votes are needed, and good. There are many records with lots of famous musicals, for example, Clara's lullaby from "Porgy and Bess" Gershwin, or “Memory” from “Cats” Andrew Lloyd Webber, performed famous Opera performers.

The Second version of variouChii genres – the story. Usually tragic Opera, operetta is comical. What is the musical - Comedy, tragedy or farce? Both that, and another, and a third. But operetta are sad... And musicals too... No, it's not in the story.

The Third and most important component of the musical – jazz. There is, however, the rock Opera, which can also be attributed to the same genre. “Juno and Avos”, “Jesus Christ Superstar”, “Hair” give a very specific idea of what is musical and what it should be. These are the best examples of the genre and is worth looking in more detail.

However, this assumption has its contradictions. “the Count of Monte Cristo” - the musical is contemporary, but, oddly enough, hip-hop or R-N-B when the audition is not detected. The same can be said about "Notre Dame". It sounds as if written thirty years ago, and it's not bad. This style suggests that the genre in General was formed, he developed his own ideas about his classics.
